YEAR TWO OF POTTER ERA BEGINS AT OKLAHOMA
Head coach Matt Potter’s second season with OU soccer to feature core of returners, 15 talented newcomers.
If you’re going to practice soccer outside in Oklahoma during the month of August,
you’ve got to find a way to avoid the heat. When the soccer team reported for their
first day of preseason practices in early August, they accomplished just that by
hitting the field at 7:30 a.m. As the sun started to peek over the horizon in Norman,
the 2013 OU soccer season was beginning on John Crain Field.
“As a coach, you are always intrigued to see the players after a long break,” Oklahoma
head coach Matt Potter said. “You quickly get a feel for who has done what they said
they would do, as well as the energy and buzz of being reunited. This group did not
disappoint. The energy and enthusiasm has been exceptional.”
Potter arrived at OU last season after successfully rebuilding the Washington State
program into a perennial NCAA tournament contender. His goals are no less lofty
at Oklahoma, and the athletic department has been quick to provide the resources
necessary for the team to reach those aspirations. With some of the finest soccer
facilities in the nation and a staff dedicated to the success of its student-athletes
on and off the field, Potter’s vision for the OU soccer program is already beginning
to take root.
After capturing seven wins in 2012—the most by a rookie head coach in program
history—Potter and his staff will take the field this fall looking to continue
implementing their vision and philosophy in the student-athletes they coach.
6 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
Assisted by associate head coach Graeme Abel, assistant coach Kacey Burke,
volunteer assistant Matt Armstrong and director of student-athlete performance
enhancement Buddy Huttanus, Potter is on a mission to take OU to the next level
as a soccer program.
The 2012 Sooners (7-9-4, 3-3-2 Big 12) finished their campaign with a thirdstraight Big 12 tournament appearance (a first in program history) under Potter’s
leadership. After losing a core group of upperclassmen that included Big 12
Offensive Player of the Year Renae Cuellar and four-year starting goalkeeper Kelsey
Devonshire, Potter and his staff will debut a retooled roster full of young talent.
There will be plenty of challenges in store this fall for the Sooners. OU fields a young
roster that includes 15 newcomers, 12 of whom are true freshmen getting their first
taste of college soccer.
Couple that with one of the nation’s most demanding schedules and it becomes
clear that Oklahoma’s young squad will be asked to rise to the occasion many times
this season. OU will face eight NCAA tournament teams from the 2012 season;
Florida State (20-4-0) made a Final Four appearance last fall, while BYU (20-2-2)
was an Elite Eight squad. Other opponents from last season’s championship include
Baylor (19-1-5), UF (19-5-1), North Texas (16-5-2), Tennessee (14-5-3), Texas Tech
(16-6-1) and West Virginia (11-5-4).

“This schedule truly speaks to our intent to be an elite program,” Potter said. “Our
opinion is that you play the best to be the best. With games against top SEC, ACC
and the Pac-12 teams, Coach Abel has put together a schedule that competes
against some of the top teams in the country.”
Overall, Oklahoma will play 18 regular season contests in 2013, including seven
home games at John Crain Field in the OU Soccer Complex. The Sooners’ home slate
includes Big 12 matchups against in-state rival Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Iowa
State and 2012 conference regular season champion West Virginia.
Big 12 play will open for the Sooners in Waco, Texas on Sept. 27 against Baylor. OU
will then return to Norman to open a three-game home stand on Oct. 4 against
Oklahoma State. Conference rivals Texas Tech (Oct. 11), Iowa State (Oct. 13) and
West Virginia (Oct. 25) will also make the journey to Norman for Big 12 action.
The Sooners will face a conference road schedule that includes games at TCU (Oct.
18), Texas (Oct. 20) and Kansas (Nov. 1).
Potter’s staff expects to ask a great deal of their newcomers early in the year. A
skilled and hungry group, Potter and his staff have been impressed by the attitudes
of their newcomers early in the fall.
“The freshman class has embraced all that we have thrown at them,” Potter said.
“Their youth, energy and work ethic are credits to their careers prior to joining us.
Their progress and the way they have embraced everything we have thrown at
them is exciting.”
A key part of OU’s success this season will be the core of 11 returners, particularly
five returning starters in Emily Bowman, Zoe Dickson, Abby Hodgen, Molly Richey
f
and Kathryn Watson. Potter has high expectations for the group on the field, in the
locker room and in the classroom.
“To see the progress our returners have made and to see them reaping the reward
of their hard work is what this is all about,” Potter said.” “We have a group who is
showing they can be true role models, and with such a large incoming class, it
was important for them to meet that expectation. I’m pleased for them and the
direction our program is heading.”

THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE
The Big 12 enters its 18th year as it continues to promote the strength and success of one of
the nation’s premier athletic conferences under the direction of second-year commissioner
Bob Bowlsby.
TCU and West Virginia joined the league on July 1, 2012 and became the Big 12’s first
additions since inception, joining Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech.
With 10 members, the Big 12 remains as the only major conference in the nation to
determine its champions in all sports directly on the field of play with a full round-robin
schedule.
The Conference’s hard work ethic and strong values have translated to enormous success in
its first 17 years. Since it began competition in 1996-97, the league can boast of 52 NCAA
team titles and 537 individual national championships.
The trophy case added more hardware in 2012-13 as Texas won the NCAA Championship
in women’s volleyball and the Oklahoma State men’s cross country team captured its
third national title in the last four seasons. Oklahoma State won the Western crown in
equestrian while Oklahoma became one of just five programs to capture multiple national
championships in softball. The year ended with Kansas hoisting its first NCAA trophy in
women’s outdoor track and field. Additionally, the Big 12 picked up 20 individual national
titles.
Several other sports also made strong national showings a year ago. Big 12 football sent
a national-record 90 percent of its teams to bowl games. Women’s basketball claimed the
top position in conference RPI for the sixth consecutive season and was the only league to
place 80 percent of its teams in postseason play and 70 percent in the NCAA Championship.
Baylor won the Big 12’s first men’s basketball NIT title. Kansas indoor track & field, Oklahoma
women’s gymnastics and Oklahoma State wrestling finished as runner-up in their respective
national championships. Additionally, Texas joined Oklahoma in the Softball College World
Series while K-State and Oklahoma competed in baseball Super Regionals.
Individually, Baylor center Brittney Griner earned consensus women’s basketball national
player of the year for the second season. Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart was named
National Freshman of the Year by two different outlets, while Jeff Withey of Kansas was
selected the National Association of Basketball Coaches Defensive Player of the Year. Texas
volleyball head coach Jerritt Elliott received American Volleyball Coaches Association Coach
of the Year honors.
Oklahoma pitcher Keilani Ricketts repeated as the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year,
giving the Big 12 two of the three all-time multiple winners as former Texas player Cat
Osterman earned the award three times. Ricketts also claimed the Honda Award for softball
for the second consecutive season and the Honda Cup, given to the nation’s top female
collegiate athlete by the Collegiate Women’s Sports Awards. Kansas track & field head coach
Stanley Redwine and assistant coach Wayne Pate each earned national accolades as the
U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) awarded the two with
outdoor coach of the year honors.
The Big 12 lays claim to five Heisman Trophy winners since 1996 and has had a finalist in 12
of its 17 seasons – the most of any league. Seventeen athletes have earned major individual
awards in football in the past five campaigns. Overall, more than 1,400 student-athletes
have earned All-America recognition in the past five years alone.
Through its first 17 years, the Big 12 has claimed a team national championship in 16 of the
sports it sponsors. The Conference ranks second with seven appearances in the BCS National
Championship Game and is second with 96 football consensus All-America selections in
that time. League squads combined to lead the nation in women’s basketball attendance
13 consecutive years and the Big 12 is the only conference to surpass the one-million mark
in season attendance – doing so six times. In men’s basketball, the league is the only
conference in the nation where every coach has guided a team to the NCAA Tournament,
including six coaches that have led teams to the Final Four. During the last nine years a total
of 31 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national
crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including 16 consecutive seasons.
The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where
sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or
within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of
the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship.
National academic accolades have always been strong in the Big 12. Danielle Robinson
(Oklahoma) and Sam Acho (Texas) were selected to receive Today’s Top VIII Awards – one
of the NCAA’s top honors. It recognizes student-athletes who completed their athletic
eligibility during 2010-11 for success on the fields and courts, in the classroom and in the
community. In the last two seasons, three student-athletes were recipients of the NCAA Elite
89 Award. That honor showcases individuals who have reached the pinnacle of competition
at the national championship level, while also achieving the highest academic standard
among their peers.
In its short history, the Big 12 has had 537 Academic All-America recipients, averaging more
than 30 each season. Big 12 student-athletes have shown commitment to their studies by
earning numerous individual academic recognitions. Nine times in the past eight years a
league athlete has garnered the top academic honor for their respective sport. The Big 12
had plenty of success overall in the classroom the last four years, as the Conference boasted
80 student-athletes earning Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition through
the fall of 2012.
The Big 12 can take pride in other stories that combine on and off the field success. Patience
Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an
outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was
diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-America honors at
the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Oklahoma State women’s basketball was
the inaugural recipient of the “Together We R” Team Award in 2012, recognizing programs
that have strived to succeed in the face of adversity. Following a devastating tornado south
of Oklahoma City just before the Big 12 Baseball Championship in 2013, several league
baseball teams along with other student-athletes, coaches and former Conference players
contributed help in a variety of ways. Plus, the Conference contributed $200,000 to the
relief efforts.
Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the
Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for
each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the
Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the
Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards.
Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt
Postgraduate Scholarships. A total of 313 scholars have received near $2.2 million in
postgraduate financial aid through the first 17 years of the program.
The Big 12 sponsors 23 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country,
football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis
and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf,
gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming &
diving, tennis and volleyball.
Big 12 institutions create a league that encompasses five states and nearly 37 million people.
More than 4,200 student-athletes from across the United States and around the World
compete annually in the sports sponsored by the Conference.
The Conference conducts postseason championships for 20 of its 23 sports. Each championship
helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national
postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football regular season championship
earns the league’s berth into the Bowl Championship Series.
In its first 17 years, the Conference has distributed more than $1.8 billion to its member
institutions. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

MATT
POTTER
Head Coach | Second Season
West London College of Brunel University, ‘92
Now in his second season at the helm of the Oklahoma soccer program, head
coach Matt Potter has already begun to see his vision for the team take shape.
A proven leader and builder of successful programs, Potter arrived at OU in December 2011 with the goal of positioning the Sooners as one of the nation’s
elite soccer teams.
Potter led Oklahoma to a 7-9-4 record in his first season as head coach, the most
by a rookie head coach in Sooner history. Potter’s squad also qualified to the
program’s third consecutive Big 12 tournament, another first for the program.
Perhaps one of the crowning moments of the season for his team was a 1-0
upset win over in-state rival and then-No. 3 ranked Oklahoma State in Norman
on Sept. 7, 2012.
In addition to the achievements of the team as a whole, Potter’s guidance led
to multiple individuals to successful seasons. Senior forward Renae Cuellar had
a breakout season at OU after transferring from Arizona. Cuellar was named Big
12 Offensive Player of the Year, the first Sooner in program history to earn the
title. Cuellar was also named to the NCAA Division I All-Central Region first team
by the National Soccer Coaches’ Association of America (NSCAA) and captured
first All-Big 12 and Big 12 All-Newcomer team honors.
A hallmark of any Potter-led team is achievement in the classroom as well as on
the field, and the 2012 Sooners followed suit under his leadership. The squad
earned Team Academic Award Recognition from the NSCAA, carrying a team
grade point average of 3.25. In addition, senior Katharine Nutman earned 2012
Capital One Academic All-District 7 Women’s Soccer first team honors from the
College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Prior to his arrival at Oklahoma, Potter established Washington State’s program
into one of the Pac-12’s elite with a school record 88 wins (88-69-26 overall) at
the helm, including five double-digit win seasons and three appearances in the
NCAA tournament. The Cougars advanced into the second round of the NCAA
tournament in 2011 and 2009. Prior to his arrival, Washington State advanced
to three NCAA tournaments since the program’s inception in 1989.
While coaching 30 all-conference selections and seven players that have taken
part of national team camps or competitions at Washington State, the program’s
success in the classroom did not go unnoticed during Potter’s tenure. He has
helped mentor 103 student-athletes that have earned academic all-conference
accolades and Washington State received the NSCAA Team Academic Award in

Potter took leadership of the Cougar program in July of 2003, just a few months
after being named an assistant in February. Potter was 6-11-2 in his first season

7
Potter’s 2012 Oklahoma squad earned seven wins under his guidance,
giving him the most wins in a season by a first-year head coach in program
history.
3
Potter guided Washington State to three NCAA Tournament appearances
as the head coach. The program had three prior to his arrival, including the
2002 campaign when he was an assistant coach.
In 2008, Potter and the Cougars’ appearance in the NCAA tournament marked
the fourth in program in history and first since 2002.
Prior to his stint in Pullman, Wa., Potter was the head coach for the women’s
team at Scottsdale Community College. In his only season with the Artichokes,
he led Scottsdale to the 2002 ACCAC playoffs with a 9-7-1 record.
He spent eight years with the Sereno Soccer Club in Arizona, working as a head
coach and trainer. Potter led the `88 girls team to a Region IV second place finish, three third place finishes and four Arizona state titles. That squad and the

GRAEME
ABEL
Associate Head Coach | Fourth Season
Brescia University, ‘94
Graeme Abel enters his second season as a member of head coach Matt
Potter’s coaching staff in 2013. Originally hired as an assistant in 2012, Abel
was promoted to associate head coach during the offseason--a title granted to
reflect Potter’s confidence in Abel’s ability as a coach at OU.
During the 2012 season, Abel’s work with the goalkeepers resulted in a
record-breaking season for senior Kelsey Devonshire. Under Abel’s guidance,
Devonshire recorded a trio of shutouts and 101 saves in her final season as a
Sooner, placing her second all-time in shutouts (17 career) and first in saves
(390 career).
A native of Liverpool, England, Abel returned to Norman in 2012 as an assistant
after serving as the OU goalkeeper coach during the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
During the 2010 and 2011 campaigns, Abel worked with the Cougar goalkeepers
and Potter at Washington State.
“To have a coach of Graeme’s caliber speaks to the ambition of the program
we are trying to build here at the University of Oklahoma.” Potter said at Abel’s
hiring. “Graeme has familiarity with the University and within the state, and has
established ties in the region.”
In 2011, Washington State enjoyed one of its best seasons in program history
with Potter at the helm and Abel working with the goalkeepers. The Cougars
won 12 games a year ago and advanced to the second round of the NCAA
tournament, anchored by a defense that limited the opposition to one goal or
less in 20 of the 23 games played. In addition, freshman goalkeeper Gurveen
Clair posted seven of the team’s nine shutouts last season with a 0.74 goalsagainst average. The nine shutouts ranks fourth all-time at Washington State
and even more impressive, six of the shutouts came in Pac-12 play, a conference
that produced the 2011 NCAA National Champion in Stanford.
In 2008, Abel made his first trek to Norman to help then-head coach
Nicole Nelson reestablish the program. In addition to working with the OU
goalkeepers, Abel also assisted with the program’s recruiting efforts and helped
recruit several of the Sooners on the current roster. Also while on the OU staff,
Abel worked a camp with the Under-20 U.S. Women’s National Team in 2009,
while also working with the Region III Olympic Development Program.
“It’s exciting to come back to OU and I’m looking forward to helping Matt push
the program on to new heights and achievements,” said Abel. “I’d like to thank

BURKE
Assistant Coach | Second Season
University of North Carolina, ‘06
Now in her second season as an assistant coach at Oklahoma, Kacey Burke
(formerly Kacey White) continues to play an instrumental part in head coach
Matt Potter’s vision for the Sooner soccer program. In addition to playing a key
role in OU’s recruiting efforts, Burke also handles individual and group player
development. Off the playing field, she is involved with the team’s travel,
community involvement and academics.
Burke arrived at OU with an impressive soccer pedigree as a player and a coach.
A former U.S. National Team member from 2006-2010, Burke was also a twotime All-American at the University of North Carolina.
A native of Arlington, Texas, Burke’s collegiate coaching experience includes
serving as a volunteer assistant in 2008 at Southern Methodist University and
as an assistant coach at Texas Tech University in 2007. She has also worked with
the Sky Blue Soccer School (2009-2010) and started her own camp after playing
for UNC, the Kacey Burke Champions Camps, which still runs today.
“With a working knowledge and having played in and grown up in the Dallas
area, Kacey brings an instant credibility to our desire to recruit in the state
of Texas,” added Potter. “The addition of Kacey speaks to the ambition of this
program as we continue to shape the staff for a new chapter in Oklahoma
soccer.”
“I am extremely excited about the opportunity to continue my collegiate
coaching career at OU and to aid Coach Potter and the staff in their vision for
the bright future of the Sooner soccer program,” said Burke. “I would like to
thank the staff for the opportunity and I am honored to now be a part of such a
wonderful academic and athletic institution.”
On the collegiate level, Burke was a two-time All-American (2004 and 2005)
for perennial power North Carolina and helped lead the Tar Heels to a National
Championship in 2003 and three ACC Championships (2002, 2003 and 2005).
Burke was also a three-time All-ACC selection and was named the most valuable
player of the 2005 ACC Tournament. She finished her career ranked No. 5 on
UNC’s all-time career assists list and ranked fourth in the nation in 2003 with 16
helpers. Burke also excelled in the classroom and was a three-time member of
the Dean’s list and a member of ACC Academic Honor Roll in 2005.
Burke and her husband Joe were married in November 2012.

Volunteer Asst. Coach | First Season
University of New Mexico, ‘12
Joseph “Buddy” Huttanus (Hut-TAN-us) enters his second season with the OU
soccer program as the Director of Student-Athlete Performance Enhancement
in 2013. Huttanus joined head coach Matt Potter’s staff in June of 2012 as an
important component of Potter’s vision for the future of the Sooner program.
Matt Armstrong joined head coach Matt Potter’s staff in 2013 as a volunteer
assistant coach. Armstrong brings an impressive background as both a player
and coach to Potter’s staff and handles video and statistical analysis and player
development for the Sooners.
Huttanus is responsible for the day-to-day operations off the field, including
team travel, serving as a liaison with athletic communications, strength and
conditioning, athletics administration and community, alumni and booster club
relations.
“With a youth national team pedigree as a player, a passion for the game and a
desire to coach at the highest levels, Matt complements and fits the vision and
philosophy of our program,” Potter said upon Armstrong’s hiring. “He has the
personality and credentials to help us reach the standards and expectations we
set for ourselves, as well as those of our athletic department as a whole.”
“We are delighted that Buddy has accepted the position and challenge to join our
program,” said Potter upon Huttanus’s hiring. “Buddy will lead the daily operations
of the program and I am thankful to the administration for the opportunity to add
Buddy as we build our team and move closer to having the pieces in position to
fulfill the ambition and vision of the program.”
Prior to his arrival in Norman, Huttanus worked the last three years in Scottsdale,
Ariz., with Endurance Rehabilitation and The Center for Athletic Performance and
Physical Therapy.
In addition to working as an athletic trainer, Huttanus developed weight and
conditioning programs and helped manage athletes in regards to fitness plans
and goals.
Potter and Huttanus share a connection having both worked with prominent
soccer clubs in the state of Arizona.
“Buddy is a certified trainer and a certified strength and conditioning specialist
with a successful career in the field of elite athletic performance,” added Potter.
“As our sport grows he is in a group of professionals that constantly are looking at
ways to advance our sport as it relates to performance. With a soccer background,
he fits perfectly within the personality of our staff and adds another dimension to
the resources available to our student-athletes.”
Huttanus received his bachelor of science degree in athletic training education
from New Mexico State University in 2009.
Prior to OU, Armstrong spent a season as a second assitant coach on the men’s
soccer staff at UNLV. He has also coached as an undergraduate assistant at New
Mexico (2011) and guided U-17 boys’ team Rio Vista United in Albuquerque to a
state championship in 2011.
Armstrong is familiar with the landscape of NCAA soccer, having played at New
Mexico and Notre Dame as an undergraduate. While a member of the Fighting
Irish squad, Armstrong was named to the Soccer America and College Soccer
News All-Freshman teams. He was also an honorable mention All-Big East pick
as a freshman at Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish reached the NCAA tournament
all three seasons that Armstrong was on the squad, including a quarterfinals
appearance in 2007 and second round appearance sin 2008 and 2009.
Armstrong wrapped up his collegiate career at New Mexico in 2010, leading the
Lobos to the second round of the NCAA Tournament as a senior. After receiving his
degree from UNM, he played professionally for HFC Haarlem in Holland and E.C.
Vitoria in Bahia, Brazil.
“Matt’s presence in our program gives our staff another dimension as we continue
to serve as a resource to our student-athletes,” Potter said. “He joins what I
consider to be an exceptional team behind our team of student-athletes.”
Armstrong graduated from New Mexico in the summer of 2012 with a bachelor of
arts degree in university studies.
“I’m very grateful and thankful for coach Potter and the athletic department for
giving me this opportunity,” said Huttanus. “It will be very exciting to work with
the student-athletes and help them achieve all of their goals. The University of
Oklahoma is a premier institution. I look forward to being a part of the university
as well as the future of Sooner soccer.”

DAVID L.
BOREN
University President
13th President at Oklahoma
David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth
president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history
to have served in all three positions.
Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and
for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate
of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent
of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a
master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965.
In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was
on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding
graduate by a vote of the faculty.
As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives
that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program, and the Oklahoma Physicians
Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted
and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first
among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education.
One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the
Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to
help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author
of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and
for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of
appreciated property to universities in 1993.
Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation
when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his
symbol. During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-of-interest
rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including
expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the workrelease program in state history.
During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and
Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee
on Intelligence. From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington,
Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened
oversight of secret government programs and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of
such programs to Congress.
For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for
legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing in on government
experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking
to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can
receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive
by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end
legislative gridlock.
Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being reelected with
22 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in
that election year.
Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where
he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social
Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the
Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year.
In April 2004, Boren received the Mory���s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In
making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the university’s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and
President of a major university.
Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “pacesetter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since
his inauguration. They include establishment of the Joe C. and Carole Kerr McClendon Honors
College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository
writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious
studies program, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the
Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls. The
Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen.
The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has
matched the explosion in new programs. Since 1994, almost $1.9 billion in construction projects
have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent
projects are the $67 million National Weather Center on OU’s Norman campus, the $90 million
OU Cancer Institute on OU’s Health Sciences Center campus in Oklahoma City and the $35 million
OU-Tulsa Schusterman Center Clinic .
Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs
Center are all making OU more international. The new Honors College helps to assure that no
students need to leave Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential.
In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of
$200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive
exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the United States in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have increased from 100 to 557
and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 125,000 friends and alumni. During
the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university.
Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is
not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one
priority. He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the
few presidents of major universities to teach.
Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President
Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. Molly Boren has
two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine
Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress
from Oklahoma. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his
parents, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren and Christine Boren.
JOE
CASTIGLIONE
VP/Athletics Director
11th Director at Oklahoma
When Joe Castiglione came to Oklahoma, he inherited one of the most storied programs in college athletics,
and he set about the business of making it better.
Some who would argue that the past 15 years represent the best of the best. With eight national championships and 60 conference titles, including seven in the 2012-13 academic year, during his tenure, Castiglione’s
record is certainly one of great merit. An all-time best finish of seventh in the annual Director’s Cup standings
following the 2012-13 academic year adds to the Sooner story. So does the kind of academic performance
that produced a combined grade point average of more than 3.00 among the nearly 600 OU student-athletes
and a record 151 graduates in 2013.
A place where competitive dreams come true and academic excellence are the expectations, not the exceptions, has been created at OU by Castiglione with the full support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s
Board of Regents.
The 11th director of athletics at OU, Castiglione arrived on the Sooner campus in summer of 1998 and what
he found was nothing like what we see today. He made a number of changes, and, in the process, created a
team of administrators, coaches and support staff who pursue and achieve lofty goals under the banner of
ethical integrity.
Proof of the overall excellence of the program is demonstrated by the annual Learfield Director’s Cup rankings.
The seventh-place finish in 2012-13 extended a four-year streak of top-15 finishes for OU. It also marked the
13th time in the 15-year Castiglione tenure that OU has ranked in the top 30.
Oklahoma’s latest finish was built through overall success in competition. OU sent all 10 spring sport teams to
the postseason and a total of eight teams, led by the 2013 softball team’s national championship, finished in
the top 10 throughout the season. That number included runner-up NCAA finishes by the men’s and women’s
gymnastics as well as top-10 results from men’s cross country (eighth), women’s basketball (ninth), baseball
(ninth), men’s tennis (ninth) and women’s golf (ninth).
The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is
measured in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring
champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow.” Castiglione believes that excellence on the field of
completion should correlate with the classroom. OU student-athletes recorded a cumulative GPA over 3.00
for the 2012-13 academic year, a first. In addition, 10 Sooner programs recorded a perfect 1,000 APR, tied for
best in the Big 12.
Since arriving at OU, Castiglione has insisted that daily and long-term decisions be made in a financially responsible manner. The department has closed the books in the black in each of the last 15 years, making it
one of the few Division I programs which remain totally self-sustaining. His understanding of how the department fits into the University’s academic mission led to a decision to increase the direct support provided by
the department on an annual basis. The most recent demonstration of that commitment led to a partnership
with President Boren’s office that eliminated the admission fee at OU’s internationally known Fred Jones Jr.
Museum of Art. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics provides more than $8 million annually to
OU’s academics budget.
Facility improvement and construction at athletics facilities has been carried out at a record pace and Castiglione takes pride in the fact that those improvements have been paid for with private money. The most
recent facility is the $75 million Headington Hall, which provides housing for the general student population
as well as student-athletes. The state-of-the-art building opened in August 2013 and makes OU the leader in
providing an engaging community living option for OU students.
Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President Boren, the
OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee
recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in April of 1998 after an outstanding administrative career at Missouri.
In recognition of the many achievements of his tenure, Castiglione was named National Athletic Director of
the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal. In June, the National Football Foundation and College
Hall of Fame named him the 2013 recipient of the John L. Toner Award, presented annually by the NFF to an
athletic director who has demonstrated superior administrative abilities and shown outstanding dedication
to college athletics and particularly college football.
His peers have honored him as well. In November 2012, the United States Sports Academy named him the
winner of the Carl Maddox Sports Management Award. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named
him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director
Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000.
The department received the 2007 PRISM Award, presented by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts. OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the
selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership with the full support of university administration.
The achievement that may bring him the most pride came in May 2007 when he completed a master’s of
education degree from OU. Subsequently, he became an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teaching graduate classes in Marketing, Development and Leadership in Higher Education. He was recently named
to the Jeannine Rainbolt Colege of Education Board of Advocates.
Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history included projects that impact
each of OU’s 21 sports and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics. The campaign ended
three years later with more than $125 million raised and that figure has grown to more than $330 million
since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments.
Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In
his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15,
1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative
master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each
of his five years as athletics director.
A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007.
He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice. He then worked a year as director of athletic
fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing.
His commitment to the success of student-athletes has gone beyond the Norman campus and he has served
at the national and conference level. He was recently re-appointed to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball
Committee for a three-year term, ending after the 2015-16 season after filling a term that ended following
the 2012-2013 season. He chaired the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and is
currently serving on the NCAA Working Group on Collegiate Model-Rules Committee, the Gatorade Collegiate
Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors.
He served three terms as the chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of both
the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and NACDA. He served a four-year term on the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet and the NCAA Baseball Committee and is a past member of the NCAA Football
Special Events Certification Committee. He has served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning
Committee, the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group, the United States Olympic Committee
Athlete Career and Education Strategic Working Group and the NCAA Football Issues Committee of which he
now serves as chairman. A former member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly
requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes. In November 2011, he was
named to his hometown, Broward County (Fla.) Sports Hall of Fame.
His involvement in the local community has led to service with civic clubs, churches and charities, including the United Way of Norman, recently serving his third term as OU’s campus co-chair, which resulted in
the highest recorded contributions ever by faculty, staff and students to the United Way of Norman’s annual
campaign. He encourages student-athletes and athletics staff to participate in those efforts as well, and in
2012-13, OU Athletics representatives logged a staggering 2,561 hours of community service.
A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione is married to the former Kristen Bartel, a 1990 graduate of the
University of Missouri. They are the parents of two sons, Joseph Robert, Jr. and Jonathan Edmund.

2012 Review
Oklahoma Soccer
SOONERS BUILD FOUNDATION IN POTTER’S FIRST YEAR
Matt Potter arrived at Oklahoma with a vision of establishing the Sooner
soccer program as one of the nation’s elite. After one year at OU, Potter
and his staff are already well on their way to achieving that goal.
Joined by assistants Graeme Abel and Kacey Burke, Potter guided
Oklahoma to a 7-9-4 record in 2012. The team’s seven victories were
the most by a rookie head coach in program history. The Sooners’ were
strongest at home throughout the season, posting five victories at John
Crain Field in Norman. Those victories included triumphs over then-No.
3 Oklahoma State on Sept. 7 in front of a Bedlam crowd of 2,475 fans.
OU posted a record of 4-6-2 in non-conference action, including wins
over Nebraska, Nicholls State and Northern Arizona. The Sooners also
finished with ties in double-overtime against Vanderbilt and Rice.
BIG 12 TOURNAMENT REWIND
After posting a 3-3-2 record in conference play during the regular
season, Potter’s squad earned a berth in the Big 12 tournament for the
third consecutive season, a program-first for Oklahoma. The Sooners
notched regular season wins over Kansas, TCU and Iowa State to secure
their spot, while also tying with Baylor and Oklahoma State in doubleovertime.
OU entered the championship with the No. 5 seed overall, facing No.
4 Texas in the first round of play on Oct. 31. The Longhorns took a 3-0
victory over the Sooners, wrapping up OU’s 2012 season.
ACADEMIC ALL-BIG 12 PICKS
For the ninth consecutive season, OU earned at least five first team
Academic All-Big 12 selections during the 2012 season. Eight Sooners
earned first team distinction, while an additional four captured second
team honors.
46 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
Bailey Boulware, Emily Bowman, Alison Farrell, Kali Fournier, Katharine
Nutman, Brianna Turang, Molly Richey and Kathryn Watson all pulled down
first team honors. Nutman made her third-straight appearance on the first
team, notching a perfect 4.0 grade point average for the second year in a row.
Boulware, Turang and Watson each made their second consecutive appearance.
Second team selections for OU included Kelsey Devonshire, Abby Hodgen,
Jessica Johnson and Kelly Price.
ACADEMIC HONORS
Potter’s track record of instituting success in the classroom and on the field
followed him to his first year at Oklahoma. The 2012 Sooner squad earned Team
Academic Award Recognition from the National Soccer Coaches Association of
America (NSCAA), carrying a team grade point average of 3.25
In addition, senior Katharine Nutman earned 2012 Capital One Academic
All-District 7 Women’s Soccer First Team recognition from the College Sports
Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
CUELLAR’S STELLAR CAMPAIGN
Senior forward Renae Cuellar provided a powerful spark to the Sooner lineup
at forward, netting 12 goals in 20 starts. She also logged five game-winning
goals and a pair of assists throughout the season. Cuellar’s efforts earned her
recognition throughout the season at both the conference and national levels.
Cuellar opened the fall with a pair of Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honors,
earning the award twice in the month of October. After scoring two gamewinning goals against Kansas and TCU, Cuellar also captured Disney Soccer/
National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Player of the Week
accolades. As the season wound to a close, the awards kept coming for the La
Puente, Calif., native. She was chosen to the NCAA Division I All-Central Region
first team by the NSCAA and captured first team All-Big 12 and Big 12 All-
Newcomer team honors.
Cuellar capped her season by earning the title of Big 12 Offensive Player of the
Year. She was the first OU student-athlete in program history to earn the award.
Cuellar’s 12 goals and 26 points both tied for third-most in a season all-time in
OU history.
DEVONSHIRE’S RECORD-BREAKING SEASON
Kelsey Devonshire secured her place as one of the finest goalkeepers in OU
program history as a senior, recording a trio of shutouts and 101 saves on the
season. After setting an Oklahoma freshman record with six shutouts in 2009,
Devonshire followed up her stellar debut with six more shutouts in 2010. As a
junior, Devonshire blanked BYU and Kansas to bring her career total to 14.
With three shutouts as a senior against Oklahoma State, Kansas and Iowa State
in 2013, Devonshire finished her time at OU with 17 career shutouts. That total
is good for second all-time in program history. Below is a look at the all-time
leaders at OU in shutouts:
1. Catharine Wade (2001-04) ... 18
2. Kelsey Devonshire (2009-12) ... 17
3. Jennifer Nichols (2004-07) ... 14
Devonshire’s 101 saves also earned her the individual career record at Oklahoma,
boosting her total of 390 over four seasons past Wade and Nichols. Below is a
look at the all-time saves leaders at OU:
1. Kelsey Devonshire (2009-12) ... 390
2. Catherine Wade (2001-04) ... 345
3. Jennifer Nichols (2004-07) ... 303

THE PATH TO GRADUATION STARTS HERE
In the 1950s, he came to OU to play football, and, in the process, broke down
barriers and crushed stereotypes. Today, OU student-athletes use the Prentice
Gautt Academic Center to break another kind of stereotype. The center that today’s
student-athletes use everyday now bears the name of the man who left an indelible legacy for Sooner Athletics and helped change a society in the process.
The formal dedication of the Prentice Gautt Academic Center was held Friday, Sept.
17, 1999. The proposal to re-name the center was approved by the OU Board of
Regents in March 1999.
“It is appropriate that this center be named after Prentice Gautt,” OU President
David L. Boren said. “His personal values and character, along with his leadership
as associate commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, continue to bring pride to
his alma mater. His personal example of quiet courage, grace under pressure, and
dedication to the university helped open the doors of opportunity for countless
number of African-American and minority student-athletes who have followed
him into collegiate athletics.”
The professional consultants of the Prentice Gautt Academic Center help studentathletes with a variety of academic tasks, from learning strategy instruction to any
stage of the writing process including preparing for an essay exam and the formal
research paper.
The goal is to help student-athletes develop the strategies they need to be
successful by encouraging the use of the center for all facets of the learning and
writing processes encountered in college.
The Prentice Gautt Academic Center provides student-athletes with a state-ofthe-art academic support facility. The environment encourages a collaboration
between staff members and student-athletes. In addition, it is highly conducive to
learning in all areas of students’ academic endeavors and features seven learning
centers.

SUCCESS ACROSS THE BOARD
The University of Oklahoma athletics program boasts a tradition
that few schools can rival. Over the years, Sooner squads have
combined for 27 team national championships including eight
in men’s gymnastics, seven in football, seven in wrestling, two in
baseball, two in softball and one in men’s golf.
The Sooner tradition isn’t something buried in the past. It
inspires OU’s student-athletes to greater heights every season.
In 2012-13, the Sooners recorded their best-ever finish in the
Learfield Sports Director’s Cup at No. 7. Nineteen of Oklahoma’s
21 teams advanced to postseason competition during the
2012-13 school year. The softball team won the Women’s College
World Series championship, while both men’s and women’s
gymnastics compiled NCAA runner-up finishes to bolster the
Sooners’ final point total. In total, OU boasted top 10 finishes in
eight sports, including men’s cross country (eighth), women’s
basketball (ninth), baseball (ninth), men’s tennis (ninth) and
women’s golf (ninth).
In 2002, the Sooner men’s and women’s basketball teams carved
their spot in history by advancing to the NCAA Final Four -- only
the third time in NCAA history a school accomplished the feat
with both teams in the same year. The OU women added two
more Final Four appearances in 2009 and 2010, becoming one
of only eight programs in NCAA history to reach back-to-back
Final Fours.
Even more remarkable, during the 2008-2009 season, the OU
football and men’s and women’s basketball teams combined
for 74 wins – tying the most ever for those three sports by a
Division I school in a single season. In 2008-2009, OU went
12-2 in football, 30-6 in men’s basketball and 32-5 in women’s
basketball. The 74-win mark was previously set during the
2001-2002 season by none other than the Oklahoma Sooners.
That mark has since been exceeded only once by the University
of Louisville in 2012-13 (75). The University of Oklahoma still

Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma’s student-athletes continue to lead in the classroom
and their actions in the community are exemplary. With the
Great Expectations campaign, Oklahoma continues to build the
finest facilities in the nation.
• Oklahoma defeated UCLA in the 2000 Women’s College
World Series to capture the school’s first softball national
championship. The Sooners won 66 games, broke 15 school
records, had four All-Americans, the WCWS Most Outstanding
Player, three WCWS all-tournament team members, a Big 12
title, a No. 1 ranking and the National Coaching Staff of the Year.
The Sooners became just the second non-West Coast team in
NCAA history to win a softball national championship.
Each day, it becomes more evident that the University of
Oklahoma has become one of the finest comprehensive athletics
program in the country. When OU student-athletes raise the
trophy of another championship, the hands responsible for
hoisting that trophy symbolize thousands of Sooners around
the globe.
The following represents a closer look at the tradition powering
the Oklahoma Sooners:

one of two Division I football programs to win seven or more
national championships. OU is also the only Division I football
program ever to record 47 straight victories.
• With Sam Bradford at No. 1, Gerald McCoy at No. 3 and Trent
Williams at No. 4, Oklahoma became the first school ever to

top pick in consecutive NBA (OU’s Blake Griffin went first in the
2009 hoops draft) and NFL Drafts. Bradford and Griffin were both
named Rookie of the Year in their respective leagues, it was the
first time in history that the two award winners came from the
same university.
• Oklahoma gymnastics great Bart Conner won two NCAA
all-around crowns and led the Sooners to two NCAA titles in
1977 and 1978. A three-time Olympian (1976, ‘80, ‘84), Conner
won two gold medals in 1984. He was instrumental in the
• Oklahoma softball became only the fifth program to win
multiple NCAA national titles in 2013, sweeping Tennessee in
two games to win the Women’s College World Series. Led by a
coaching staff named the nation’s best that season and 2013
Honda Cup winning pitcher Keilani Ricketts, OU notched 57 wins
and a Big 12 title during their season. One of the most dominant
teams in the history of the sport, Oklahoma outscored their
opponents 32-8 in WCWS play.
• The OU men’s basketball team has competed in 28 postseason
tournaments in the last 32 years. Its 23 NCAA Tournament
appearances since 1983 are the second most among Big 12
schools. Head coach Lon Kruger is also the only coach to take five
Division I programs to the NCAA Tournament.
• Sooner football has accumulated seven national
championships, 43 conference titles, 26 bowl championships,
152 All-Americans and had 350 players
drafted by the NFL, including 41 first-round selections and four
No. 1 picks: Lee Roy Selmon (1976), Billy Sims (1980), Brian

and second-consecutive Final Four in 2010 after playing the
nation’s toughest schedule. The Sooners, at some point, played
all four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Championship and 13 teams
ranked in the final top 25.

• Oklahoma golf’s Charlie Coe was one of the most celebrated
amateur players in the history of the game. During his career,
Coe captured U.S. amateur crowns in 1949, 1958 and 1959. He
also played in 19 straight Masters Tournaments. Coe competed
on the Walker Cup teams of 1949, 1951 and 1953.
• Oklahoma wrestling has produced 18 Olympians who have
collectively won three gold and two silver medals. Brothers Dave
and Mark Schultz both won gold in the 1984 games.
• Oklahoma football has placed 28 former Sooners into the
National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, including
three head coaches: Bennie Owen in 1951, Bud Wilkinson in
1969 and Barry Switzer in 2001.
• Oklahoma baseball won the 1951 College World Series with
a come-from-behind win over Tennessee in the championship
game to become the first team in history to claim the title after
winning the double-elimination tournament without a defeat.
• The Oklahoma men’s golf program has produced 47
All-Americans, eight three-time All-Americans, eight individual
conference champions, 14 conference titles and the 1989
national championship.
• Oklahoma baseball advanced to its 10th College World Series
appearance in 2010 and finished the season ranked No. 5
nationally, the program’s highest finish since claiming OU’s
second national title in 1994.
• OU football has produced five Heisman Trophy winners:
halfback Billy Vessels won the award in 1952, tailback
Steve Owens won in 1969, halfback Billy Sims won in 1978,
quarterback Jason White brought the trophy back to Norman
in 2003 and fellow QB Sam Bradford took home the award last
season. OU players have captured 63 national awards and the
Sooners have also produced five Outland Trophies, four Walter
Camp Trophies, four Butkus Award winners, four Davey O’Brien
Awards, three Lombardi Awards, three Thorpe Awards, two
Bronko Nagurski Awards, two Maxwell Awards, one Tatupu
Award, one Johnny Unitas Award and one Bednarik award.
• The Oklahoma baseball team swept through its regional
tournament and the World Series without a loss to capture the
1994 national championship. The Sooners topped off a 42-17
regular season with the school’s second national baseball title.
• Oklahoma basketball great Wayman Tisdale was a three-time
All-American for the Sooners from 1983-85 and is the all-time
leading scorer and rebounder in OU history. He was a member
of the 1984 gold-medal-winning U.S. Olympic team and
was recently named the greatest player ever in the Big Eight
Conference by a panel of longtime conference media observers
and officials. Tisdale’s No. 23 jersey was retired by Oklahoma in
1997 -- the first jersey ever retired by OU in any sport.
• Sooner basketball great Stacey Dales graduated as the most
decorated player in the program’s history in 2002. She was
the WNBA’s third overall draft pick by the Washington Mystics.
In addition to leading OU to the 2002 national championship
game, Dales was a two-time consensus All-American, two-time

The top-two finish tied with the 2010 Sooners for the highest in
program history.
• OU women’s gymnastics became the first women’s sport at
Oklahoma to be ranked No. 1 during the regular season in 2010.
The Sooners were ranked first or second in every regular season
poll in 2010, as the Sooners were the only squad in the country

Traditions and Spirit
SOME OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED TRADITIONS IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS
The University of Oklahoma has a long and storied history. The rich tradition has
given birth to some of the most recognized pageantry in all of college athletics.
Here is a look at the origin of some of the elements that create the wonderful
atmosphere so unique to OU:
SOONERS
College sports fans are hard-pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as
tied in to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school
known as Sooners and those who claim that they are Sooners say it with pride.
The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the
globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their
claim. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to
start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were
labeled as “Boomers” and the ones who went early were called “Sooners.”
OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before
the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived
its name from a pep club called “The Sooner Rooters.” The success of University of
Oklahoma athletics teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with
winning.
BOOMER SOONER
One of the most recognizable college fight songs in the country, Boomer Sooner
immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of
those who dare to oppose them.
In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a
Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale
University’s Boola Boola but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was
82 - 2013
2012 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
made to it from North Carolina’s I’m a Tarheel Born and the two combined to form
today’s university fight song. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the
everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of Boomer Sooner to
national popularity.

MASCOTS
The Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode
of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by
matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen
Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was
introduced in 1964, it did not become the official mascot until 1980. The Schooner
is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular
appearances at university functions.
During OU football and baseball games from 1915-1928, Mex the Dog wore a red
sweater with a letter “O” on the side. Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928, and he
was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral
and procession on May 2, 1928.
In the fall of 2005, the OU Athletics Deparment
introduced costumed mascots. The new characters
will act as an extension of the Sooner Schooner and
its horses to be enjoyed by fans -- especially children
-- at all OU athletics contests. The costumes feature
traditional collegiate gear as part of their regular
uniform, but will don team uniforms for football
and men’s and women’s basketball. They were voted
“Most Collegiate” by the Universal Cheerleading
Association (UCA).
home venues and all Sooners are urged to wear the
official colors to show the rest of the country what
school spirit and Sooner Pride is all about.
CRIMSON AND CREAM
In the early years of the 1900s, both townspeople of
Norman and students of OU participated in a band
that played for football games. Professor John Merrill
started the first band in 1901, which was composed
mostly of townspeople and disbanded after each
football season. Lloyd Curtis, a cornetist, founded the
first continuous student band in 1904.
In the fall of 1895, Miss May Overstreet, the only
woman on the faculty, was asked to chair a committee
to select the colors of the university. The committee
decided the colors should be crimson and cream and
an elaborate display of the colors was draped above a
platform before the student body.
The student body approved with great enthusiasm
and immediately pennants, banners, badges and
decorations of every description appeared on the
streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and
all public places; however, local merchants could not
supply the demand.
Even though the school colors have evolved to red and
white over the years, you can ask any self-respecting
Sooner what the colors are and they will proudly
announce “Crimson and Cream.”
On gamedays, a sea of crimson rolls through OU’s
PRIDE OF OKLAHOMA
The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band has been
supporting Sooner Spirit for more than a century.
Unlike many other college bands, which began as
military drill units, the Pride of Oklahoma had its
beginnings as a pep band.
Today, the 300-member Pride of Oklahoma has
members representing virtually every college and
major on campus. The Pride of Oklahoma stands for
excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit,
and commitment to our role in the surrounding
community.
Boomer Sooner rings out at the end of each rehearsal,
and that song is the defining element of the
University of Oklahoma. Maybe that is why Sooner
fans love the band so much. Not much can compare
to the first “go-go” at a football game when the Pride
of Oklahoma marches the interlocking OU down the
field playing Boomer Sooner.
OU CHANT
The OU Chant is a loyalty song that is sung before
every home football game, before and after every
men’s and women’s basketball games and at the end
of many athletic and university functions.
Every fan who wears the official colors, each current
student and student-athlete and all OU alumni are
encouraged to stand and raise one finger in the air
during the playing of the Chant -- a symbolic gesture
that shows those who do not know what it means to
be a Sooner, the greatness of the university and the
unity between all Sooners.
The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson
Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936
to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman
in 1937.
O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A
Our chant rolls on and on!
Thousands strong
Join heart and song
In alma mater’s praise
Of campus beautiful by day and night
Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White
‘Neath a western sky
OU’s chant will never die.
Live on University!

Community Service
SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS THE SOONERS
OU lives by a clear and strong motto in dealing with its student-athletes...Inspiring
Champions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow. To fulfill that promise,
the athletics department and student-athletes take an active role in a number of
community service projects. Sooner student-athletes are exposed to life outside of
sports and school work with opportunities to serve and help others.
Oklahoma’s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream
means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They
are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important
lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others and in the community in which they live.
The Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) is a committee made up of studentathletes from all 21 intercollegiate athletic teams at the University of Oklahoma.
The group coordinates community service programs for the Sooners each month.
Past community service events for OU student-athletes have included:
• Women’s basketball players and coaches visited the Children’s Hospital in
Oklahoma City and participated in the Sooner Big Sis Program, an event in which
each student-athlete selects a Norman elementary school class and visits the class
weekly for an hour.
“Giving back is something that benefits us as much as those we’re helping,” says
OU head softball coach Patty Gasso. “It brings us back to reality and makes us realize that there is more to life than collegiate softball. I feel it’s our duty to help out
because of the role we’re in as a Division I softball program.”
• The Oklahoma baseball team annually attends Willow Springs Boys Ranch to
spend time with children and host a barbeque, in addition to visiting the “Miracle
League” in Edmond and working with children at local elementary schools.
The University of Oklahoma men’s golf program has held an annual Clubs for Kids
event in early May at the Lakeview Golf Course in Ardmore, Okla. Providing clubs
and instruction, the event allows more than 1,000 southeastern Oklahoma youth
an opportunity to interact with the OU golf team and coaches.
• The OU men’s gymnastics team participated in Adopt-An-Angel, Safe Trick-OrTreat and volunteered at various elementary schools in the Norman area. The
team earned the Volunteer of the Year award by the Norman United Way and
Junior League of Norman. for its work at Norman’s Cleveland Elementary School.
Oklahoma women’s basketball teams have been extremely active in the community since head coach Sherri Coale’s arrival in 1996. In addition to projects with the
United Way, Coaches vs. Cancer, Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity and the
Children’s Miracle Network, Coale implemented the Sooner Big Sis Program which
places women’s basketball players at elementary schools in Norman to serve as
mentors and teachers’ aides.
• The OU Athletics Department participated in “Think if You Drink,” a community
campaign to help promote safe and responsible drinking among student-athletes
and students on campus.
“I want our student-athletes to learn through their experience here,” says Coale,
“how important it is to volunteer to be a part of whatever community they decide
to reside in when their playing days are over.”
• OU student-athletes and coaches made contact with more than 1,000 Norman
Public Schools students in 20 schools as visiting readers, tutors, mentors and other
special events including speaking engagements.
84 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
• The football program participated in Special Spectators for children with terminal
illnesses by visiting and playing with the children.
• The OU women’s volleyball team visited Santa Fe High School, mentored children
during lunch at Norman Lutheran Church, led FCA at Alcott Middle School,
refereed and taught children’s volleyball for Jumping Juniors and the Homeschool
Association and spoke to the young adults at Tulsa High School.
• More than 450 hours of community service were put in by OU student-athletes
through the Life Skills Program. Events included reading to school children,
leading middle school FCA meetings, speaking to elementary school children, and
visits to children’s hospital.
• Oklahoma men’s basketball has been involved with community organizations
including the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, Boys and
Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts of America, Citizens Caring for Children, Children’s Miracle
Network, Food and Shelter for Friends, Sooner Reading Program, the Oklahoma
Blood Institute, the Oklahoma Committee to Prevent Child Abuse and Special
Olympics, among others.
• The football, basketball, baseball, and gymnastics teams were involved with
Special Spectators, a national organization that invites seriously ill children to
attend a sporting event and meet the players and coaches. The Sooners hosted
more than 20 children from several Oklahoma City hospitals who attended
sporting events on the OU campus.
• Bridge Builders, the African American Student-Athlete Network, organized
student outreach programs at Marcus Garvey Leadership Charter School and Moon
Middle School helping to impart ideas and strategies to young people that will
help them be successful in sports as well as life.
• Oklahoma women’s basketball players supported the Special Olympics in Norman
and Noble. The players were honorary hug givers and cheerleaders, encouraging
Oklahoma’s special stars. The Sooners also assisted the United Way in its Meals on
Wheels program. OU delivered, sacked and decorated bags that contained food
items for emergency use during the winter months.
• Sooner football players spent more than 300 hours involved in various community projects during the course of the year including the Clinic for Kids, visiting
elementary schools and conducting the annual food drive.
• OU student-athletes hosted Safe Trick-or-Treat and provided candy, games and
safe entertainment for hundreds of local children and their families at the Lloyd
Noble Center.
• OU participated in the Adopt-an-Angel Toy Drive in which toys and clothing were
given by student–athletes and department staff to the Salvation Army, Women’s
Resource Center and individuals in need during the holiday season.
• The Sooners sponsored a campus-wide blood drive with the American Red Cross
with more than 100 donors whose donations will help save the lives of more than
500 people.
• Members of the OU Athletics Department, including teams, coaching staffs and
support staffs, all teamed up to provide aid throughout the state of Oklahoma
following the May 2013 tornadoes that impacted communities such as Moore, El
Reno and Shawnee. While the University provided distaster relief housing and the
athletics department drove t-shirt sales to benefit United Way and the American
Red Cross, teams also volunteered on a variety of levels. Many OU athletic teams
visited communities to help with cleanup, unload and pass out water, food and
other supplies, and meet with the victims of the devastating storms.

Strength and Conditioning, Athletic Medicine
ROBIN SIEGFRIED & FAMILY STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COMPLEX
THE PROGRAM
Oklahoma’s weight training program is a pioneer in the development of strength
and conditioning, and is a vital part of the Sooners’ traditional success. OU strength
and conditioning coaches utilize their expertise along with a wide array of
equipment and tests to produce national championship-caliber athletes.
Evaluation, goal-oriented programs, supervision and state-of-the-art facilities
help Oklahoma athletes become bigger, faster, stronger and more flexible. The
Robin Siegfried & Family Strength and Conditioning Complex, located in the Barry
Switzer Center, has 13,000 square feet to facilitate the intensive training of OU
athletes.
The objective of the strength and conditioning program is to ensure each studentathlete in every sport is provided with a sound in-season and off-season program.
This program of activity includes strength, conditioning, flexibility and nutrition. A
strength and conditioning coordinator for each sport is provided to assist athletes
in reaching the highest possible training levels.
Located at the south end of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Barry Switzer Center

10 Years at Oklahoma
Schmidt is recognized nationally as one of the best in the
business and his work, along with his staff, serves as one of the
key components to OU athletics excellence.
SCOTT ANDERSON - Head Athletics Trainer
12 Years at Oklahoma
The recently appointed president of the College Athletic Trainers’
Society, Anderson supervises a staff of nine full-time certified
athletic trainers, one physical therapist, eight graduate assistants and 20 undergraduates who provide a bulk of the care for OU student-athletes.
“I am honored to be appointed President of the College Athletic Trainers’ Society,”
said Anderson. “This is an organization dedicated to the professional and personal
life of the college athletic trainer as we expand the margin of safety for our
student-athletes in sport.”
STATE-OF-THE-ART ADDITION
Among the recent updates that increased OU’s athletic training space to 10,000
square feet were the addition of new hot and cold plunge hydrotherapy pools
(shown left). The facility also includes a water rehabilitation pool that features an
underwater treadmill, allowing athletes the opportunity to exercise after injury
much sooner than on land. By taking away the weight bearing forces of gravity, an
athlete is able to keep their running motion while waiting for the injury to heal,
allowing the athlete to maintain cardiovascular endurance. The treadmill reaches
a speed of approximately eight miles per hour and features underwater jets that
provide increased resistance if needed. Underwater cameras allow the athletic
trainers and physical therapists to view the running mechanics of the athlete,
ensuring proper form and a speedy road to recovery.
OTHER ADDITIONS
- Two examinations rooms (Don H. O’Donoghue, M.D. Orthopedic Examination
Room and E. Randy Eichner, M.D. Examination Room)
- Hydroworx 2000 series
- Hydroworx Cold Plunge

- Monitored Rehab System shuttle
- Digital x-ray
COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION
The Oklahoma Athletics Department feels a strong responsibility to help its
athletes reach and maintain their optimum health and achieve conditioning goals.
For this reason, OU has developed excellent training and conditioning programs to
lessen the possibility of injuries. However, should injuries occur, the department is
committed to a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
Complete athletically-related medical services are provided to Oklahoma studentathletes by team physicians and OU’s certified athletic trainers. The University of
Oklahoma obtains the services of the best medical consultants available.
The base of operation for the Sooners’ medical care is the state-of-the-art Henry J.
Freede, M.D. Sports Medicine Center in the Barry Switzer Center.
Head athletic trainer Scott Anderson says the addition to the Barry Switzer
Center has allowed the university to upgrade to a new edition of rehabilitation
equipment that can best benefit the student-athletes. From simple therobands
to taping tables, the new facility offers everything a school can have or hope to
have. The Sooner training room is equipped to perform isokinetic joint evaluation
for preventive medicine and for post-injury rehabilitation. The therapy room is
supplied with the latest modalities on the market.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS AND BEYOND
With one of the greatest winning traditions in intercollegiate
athletics, the University of Oklahoma, its players, coaches
and fans understand the meaning of “Great Expectations.”
OU hopes for and expects great things from its athletics
teams -- and the athletes and coaches expect the same from
themselves. Time and time again, the Sooners have delivered
on this expectation: 27 national championships, more than
200 conference titles and more than 1,000 All-Americans.
The University of Oklahoma’s goal is to provide first-class
facilities and resources for all the programs and endeavors
sponsored by the institution. OU Athletics captures so much
attention and interest that it requires the help and support
of all Sooners to continue the tradition that all have enjoyed.
With that in mind, OU launched “Great Expectations...The
Campaign for Sooner Sports” in 1999.
“Great Expectations - The Campaign for Sooner Sports,”
a recently completed fund-raising effort, was about the
continuation of a proud championship tradition. It was a
five-year campaign launched with an eventual goal of $100
million, making possible an extraordinary era in new athletics
facilities that has led to unprecedented athletic and academic
success for OU student-athletes.
Among the accomplishments made possible by Great
Expectations’ donors: an expanded, renovated and more
beautiful football stadium; two completely new facilities for
men’s and women’s basketball at Lloyd Noble Center; new or
renovated facilities for baseball, softball, volleyball, wrestling,
softball, tennis, soccer and track and field; new strength and
conditioning and sports medicine centers and an indoor
training center.
Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium
The $75 million expansion and renovation of OU’s football
stadium, completed in 2004, transformed a towering concrete
structure into a beautiful facility featuring the brick and cast
stone that characterize OU’s historic buildings. The expansion
88 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
added 8,000 seats, including 56 suites, on the east side. At the
same time, the press box was remodeled and outfitted with
several state-of-the-art features. This historical facility is
the largest sports arena in the state, and following its recent
expansion, now ranks among the 15 largest on-campus
facilities in the nation.
Henry J. Freede, M.D., Sports Medicine Facility
This 10,000-square-foot sports medicine facility within
the Barry Switzer Center treats athletes from all 21 sports,
ensuring the best possible health for OU student-athletes
through preventative medicine and post-injury treatment and
rehabilitation.
Everest Training Center
Considered one of the premier indoor facilities in the country,
the Everest Training Center is a 74,000-square-foot center that
includes a full-size playing field, simulated stadium lighting,
a complete scoreboard with play clocks, LED 40-yard timing
devices and a ceiling that hangs 65 feet above the playing
surface to allow for all kicking and throwing drills.
Fred & Mary Eddy Jones Foundation Red Room
The Red Room is where OU football players meet as a team or
offensive/defensive units to watch motivational videos before
each game. OU’s offense and defense post their goals for
each week, and the Sooner coach holds his post-game press
conference in this area.
McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics
While the football gameday facilities in the Gaylord FamilyOklahoma Memorial Stadium may be more familiar to OU
supporters, the north side McClendon Center for Intercollegiate
Athletics is one of the most vital areas for OU’s entire athletics
program as it is the center of student learning and athletics
administration activities.
Robin Siegfried and Family Strength and Conditioning
Complex
This 13,000-square-foot facility serves more than 500 athletes
in OU’s 21 sports. The state-of-the-art facility inside the Barry
Switzer Center has been central to OU’s success in recent
years and helped develop OU’s reputation as a pioneer in the
strength and conditioning field.
Barry Switzer Center
A special feature is the Barry Switzer Center on the south side
of the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where
OU’s storied football history is displayed, media conferences
are held and recruits are entertained. The center recently
experienced a significant upgrade to reflect this success and
to fully realize the original vision as an exhibit area focusing
on OU’s greatest victories and most successful coaching eras.
Headington Family Tennis Center Expansion
The men’s and women’s tennis teams compete in one of
the finest indoor venues in the country. Highlights of the
new 55,000 square-foot facility include six air-conditioned
courts, championship-quality lighting and surface, and
approximately 375 chair-back seats for spectators, which
are elevated between the courts. The programs opened a
12-court outdoor championship facility in 2001 during the
Great Expectations campaign that was particularly notable
because it was donations exclusively from tennis letterwinners
who made the new courts possible.
John Crain Field at the OU Soccer Complex
The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department and the
soccer program enjoyed a $4.5 million expansion to the soccer
stadium in 2006. In addition to a press box and a permanent
grandstand, a multi-use building is located between John
Crain Field at the OU Soccer Complex and the Headington
Family Tennis Center at the corner of Chautauqua Avenue
and Imhoff Road. The multi-purpose complex includes locker
rooms, meeting and video rooms and offices for the studentathletes and coaches.
Softball Hitting Facility
The OU softball team broke ground on an indoor hitting facility
in July 2008 that was completed prior to the 2009 season. In
2002, the Robert E. Young and Family Softball Locker Room was
added to the Softball Complex, giving the team a spacious and
comfortable gathering place for preparation and relaxation.
In 2003, the softball field was named in honor of retired
softball coach and women’s administrator Marita Hynes.
Baseball Practice Facility
With an estimated cost of $1 million, the OU baseball team
opened an indoor hitting facility and practice infield at L.
Dale Mitchell Park prior to the 2009 season. The 5,160-square
-foot facility has three full-size hitting/pitching lanes and is
air conditioned and heated. Previous renovations to L. Dale
Mitchell Park were completed in 2001 when the press box
underwent state-of-the-art improvements including four
suites and a press area, the Mike Treps Media Room.
John Jacobs Track and Field Complex
The project, which was completed in spring 2004, included a
25,000-square-foot building connecting the Mosier Indoor
Practice Facility with the Everest Training Center. This new
building includes track and field locker rooms, a sports
medicine room and a video teaching room. The John Jacobs
Track was altered and re-surfaced to include European Oval
turns for a faster track and nine 48-inch wide lanes. Other
improvements include upgrades of field event areas, placing
them directionally north/south and east/west to take
advantage of wind conditions; spectator seating for 2,000;
new restrooms and concessions; and the installation of
championship lighting.
Howard McCasland Field House
The Field House is one of OU’s most historic buildings. Many
OU alumni fondly recall the field house as the home of OU’s
basketball program, which it was until Lloyd Noble Center
opened in 1975. In 2005, the Field House underwent a $6
million facelift that included a complete interior renovation
comprised of a resanded and repainted floor with four efficient
practice courts and chair-back seating that offers fans more
comfort. In addition, the entire facility was repainted and
improvements were made to the HVAC system, sound system,
lighting and scoreboards. The Sooners have also enjoyed
renovations done to the training room as well as an upgrade to
both the volleyball and wrestling locker rooms.
Wrestling Practice Facility
Connected to the McCasland Field House, the Athletics
Department launched a $2.4 million project in 2008. The bulk
of the construction will include a $1.3 million addition to the
Port Robertson Wrestling Center. The facility serves as the
practice venue for the Sooner wrestling team.
Mary Jane Noble Women’s Basketball Center
In 1975, the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation of Ardmore
made the first million-dollar gift in OU history with its
contribution to OU’s campaign to build a multi-purpose arena.
In 1999, the foundation made another gift to support the
renovation of the original center, adding first-class matching
facilities for the men’s and women’s basketball teams. The
Lloyd Noble Center addition includes two new full-sized
practice courts for the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
Bob and Ann Coleman Men’s Basketball Center
The nearly 63,000-square-feet Lloyd Noble Center addition
offers a matched set of men’s and women’s facilities, including
full-sized practice courts, new team and coaches’ locker rooms,
training rooms and steam/spa/sauna rooms. Office facilities
and conference rooms provide views of the practice courts
as special features and a shared weight training facility was
created. The Kerr-McGee Courtside Club gives fans a venue for
special events.
Headington Hall Student Housing Facility
A $75 million living space that opened in summer 2013,
Headington Hall houses 380 OU students, including 180
student-athletes. The facility is named in honor of former
OU tennis player Tim Headington, one of many alums to give
generously to the project. The facility boasts apartmentstyle accomodations in two-and four-bedroom units and
was funded by the University of Oklahoma Department of
Intercollegiate Athletics. Headington Hall also features a
central dining facility, computer labs, study rooms and a
theatre. Of particular note in the hall is the Sam Bradford
Training Table, a state-of-the-art dining facility that fulfills the
dietary and nutritional needs of all OU student-athletes.

located between the soccer complex and the Headington Family Tennis Center at
the corner of Chautauqua Avenue and Imhoff Road.
Phase II construction began in November of 2005 and the new facility is comprised
of spaces for student-athletes, coaches and fans of both soccer and tennis.

2012 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
“ One of the unique aspects of the funding for our first phase was that almost every
dollar was provided by former student-athletes. Many of those same individuals
were so excited about the quality of the facility that they stepped forward again
to finish the project and provide state-of-the-art facilities for our current studentathletes.”
The press box is equipped with camera decks and a media level complete with
the latest technologies. The attractive conference room/meeting area serves as a
versatile location for team meetings and activities, and can be used to host special
guests, parents, donors and media.
In addition to increasing the seating capacity to 3,500, the complex also includes
concessions, restrooms and a ticket booth to give fans a complete family atmosphere
for watching Division I soccer.
HISTORY
On Sept. 8, 2000, a new era began for the OU soccer program when the Sooners
hosted SMU in the first game at the on-campus complex. Before the game, a
ceremony, featuring OU Director of Athletics Joe Castiglione, was held to celebrate
the opening of the complex.
The first phase ($1.2 million) at the OU Soccer Complex featured a first-class,
regulation field with top-of-the-line turf and drainage system. In 2002, the field
was renamed to honor the donation made by John Crain. The $600,000 gift, all of
which was applied to the soccer program, still remains one of the largest ever made
to Sooner women’s athletics.
In 2006, the complex enjoyed a $4.5 million renovation that included a state-ofthe-art press box and grandstand, joined by a multi-use building located between
the soccer complex and the Headington Family Tennis Center at the corner of
Chautauqua Avenue and Imhoff Road.
Most recently, the words “Oklahoma Sooners” were added to the front of the press
box to further enhance the appearance of the facility. In addition, the locker room
and team room on the second floor were decorated and furnished for the coaches
and student-athletes.
The program also added state-of-the art dugouts on the north side of the
complex that give the home and visiting teams a permanent structure
during contests. Unique in the Big 12 Conference, the bench areas also
feature heating vents and ceiling fans to help weather the elements.

THE UNIVERSITY
Norman, OKC and Tulsa
A UNIVERSITY TOWN WITH A CHAMPIONSHIP SPIRIT
backgrounds, the city has something to offer everyone. Norman is home to a
variety of enriching events and attractions, including the Sooner Theater, which
hosts a series of entertaining theatrical performances produced by locally-based
talent and touring companies.
Norman is an ever-changing city of nearly 100,000 residents. Located in the heart
of the state, it has grown to become the third largest city in Oklahoma. Despite its
continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small close-knit
community.
The city also showcases local and regional artists in its annual May Fair. In
addition, through the university’s School of Drama, School of Dance and the School
of Music, stage productions are offered year round.
The Medieval Fair has become a springtime tradition in Norman as people from
around the country converge on the city for one weekend each April to partake in a
fascinating look back in time. Each year, an area park is transformed into a festival
of sights, sounds and tastes
straight from the Middle Ages. Knights joust, jesters entertain and story tellers
spin tales of a magical time in history.
Norman was recently named by Money Magazine as No. 6 of America’s Best Places
to Live among “small” cities or locations with a population between 50,000 and
300,000.
Since the Oklahoma landrush of 1889, Norman has grown into a popular
and smart city. The spirit of Norman and its citizens is unwavering and
uncompromising. While other towns were clamoring to become the state capital,
Norman residents desired to have the first state university. When the first OU
president got off the train and saw a prairie, he saw opportunity.
As home to the state’s premier educational institution, Norman boasts an excellent
quality of life and is a city that thrives on and celebrates the diversity of its
community.
Legendary University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer called Norman “a
university town with a championship spirit.” Norman continually exhibits its love
for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events.
In the last five years alone, Norman has served as host of the NCAA Men’s
Gymnastics Championship, an NCAA men’s golf regional, NCAA softball regionals,
NCAA men’s and women’s gymnastics regionals, NCAA women’s tennis regionals,
NCAA track and field regional and the NCAA women’s basketball regionals. In
addition, the Big 12 Conference Men’s and Women’s Tennis, Track and Field,
Wrestling, Women’s Golf, and Women’s Gymnastics Championships were held in
Norman.
Cultural activities are unlimited in Norman, making it the ideal backdrop for
the University of Oklahoma. As home to people of all ethnic and educational

The $44 million Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, a state-of-theart facility designed to display a collection of historical and natural science items
that trace the southwest’s development since prehistoric times, opened in May
2000. History buffs will also enjoy the Cleveland Country Historical House which
holds exhibits relating to the development of this area of the state.
For art enthusiasts, the Fred Jones Jr. Memorial Art Center houses permanent
collections, nationally and world-renowned traveling exhibits as well as a yearly
student art show. The museum has recently added the Weitzenhoffer Collection of
French Impressionist paintings -- the single most important gift of art ever given
to a U.S. public university.
Maintaining a progressive approach to the future while remembering its history,
Norman continues to be a well-balanced community, proud to be the home of the
University of Oklahoma.
OKLAHOMA CITY
Oklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma, is located
just 18 miles from the Norman campus. It was the
first city settled in the Land Run of 1889 because of
its position as the center of the state. It is because
of this central location that Oklahoma City has
become known as the home of America’s Western
heritage. Whether adventure, history, culture or
sports, Oklahoma City offers a variety of attractions
and activities different from any other place in the
country.
Oklahoma City was born on the afternoon of April
22, 1889, when the central portion of what is now
Oklahoma was opened to settlement by presidential
proclamation. Thousands crossed the borders of
“unassigned lands” at the sound of gunfire at high
noon. Never before or since has such a “run” occurred
anywhere on the earth.
By the time the dust had settled on that historic day,
many people had staked their claim at “Oklahoma
Station,” an area which was destined to become
Oklahoma City, a leading city in America. In 1911,
Oklahoma City officially became the capital after
a statewide election moved the state seal from
Guthrie.
Oklahoma City has become a haven for exciting
sports action. It is home of an NBA team, two semiprofessional sports teams and the host of the NCAA
Women College Softball World Series and Big 12
Softball Championship. The Oklahoma RedHawks,
1996 American Association champions (then named
the Oklahoma City 89ers), are the Triple-A baseball
affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The team plays in the
13,066-seat AT&T Bricktown Ballpark, one of the
plushest venues in all of minor league sports. The
ballpark served as host to a 2004 NCAA baseball
regional and the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 208 Big 12
Baseball Championships.
Hockey mania runs rampant with the recent success
of the Central Hockey League’s Oklahoma City
Blazers. The Blazers won the CHL crown in 1996
and are yearly one of the league’s best teams. In
addition, the city has hosted numerous PGA and
Senior PGA Tour events.
TULSA
Tulsa, the state’s second largest city, is located 100
miles to the northeast of Norman in the heart of
Oklahoma’s Green Country. Ask people to describe
Tulsa, and you’ll likely get many different answers. It
was a city forever changed by the discovery of oil in
1901. It is home to art deco treasures and nationally
renowned museums. Its African-American heritage
left its mark, in both the business and music worlds.
And it’s a city of nostalgia and special memories for
countless Americans due to its location on historic
Route 66.
Tulsa is a cosmopolitan town that appeals to both
young families and retirees. National touring
exhibitions can be seen at the Philbrook Museum of
Art, which was recently featured on the television
program America’s Castles. For great western art,
check out the Gilcrease Museum, and music legends
are commemorated at Oklahoma’s Jazz Hall of
Fame. Other unique attractions worth a stop include
the Elsing Museum, Ida Dennie Willis Museum of
Miniatures, Dolls & Toys, Tulsa Air and Space Center
and the Fenster Museum of Jewish Art.
